Its a blazing summer when two men arrive in the village. Theyre coming for gold. What they bring is trouble.

Cal Hooper was a Chicago detective, till he moved to the West of Ireland looking for peace. Hes found it, more or less in his relationship with local woman Lena, and the bond hes formed with half-wild teenager Trey. So when two men turn up with a money-making scheme to find gold in the townland, Cal gets ready to do whatever it takes to protect Trey.

Because one of the men is no stranger: hes Treys father. But Trey doesnt want protecting. What she wants is revenge.
